Jessica Alba may be one of Hollywood’s most desirable women, but she’s always felt masculine.

“Most of my life, I identified more with my masculine side,” the Honest Company creator said in Cosmopolitan’s March issue. “I was kind of aggressive and super masculine in my early 20s — even into my mid-20s. I got boobs when I was young … and I was like, ‘What do I do?’”

The mother of two, who recently showed off her eco-friendly home, says she was never the woman executives marketed. “I was always feeling angry, like an impostor,” the 34-year-old dished. “I learned how to be cool with the feminine later in life.”

Even though she’s dolled up for the cameras most days, she’s not to be dismissed in the boardroom.

“I’m in a man’s world in business,” Alba explained. “But I know what women want — [men] don’t… Whenever [male colleagues] question me in meetings, I’m like, ‘Go home and ask your wife. This is a pointless conversation. Go home and talk to her.’ When we were talking about package designs, I was like, ‘Are you really giving me notes on packaging for feminine care? I literally can’t with you.’”
